For cradle cap I put baby oil on head with cotton ball, let it sit fir 10 min, use a fine tooth comb to gently loosen it, then wash away oil with baby shampoo...it might take a couple tries to get it all.

Selsen Blue shampoo cleared up my LOs cradle cap with one use. One! Pediatrician recommended it, just careful of the eyes Wet their head, lather it up, then use a soft baby brush in circles to loosen the skin. Rinse off and brush again later when dry. It was a miracle! Haven't figured out anything for the acne yet...

Baby acne is natural and it shouldn't matter what everyone thinks. Baby's skin is very sensitive i'd be careful what you use. It should clear up on its own but my sil is a pediatric dermatologist and my 4 wk old just broke out yesterday with acne and she recommended use Cetaphil Soap
Substitute. I think it says Cetaphil
Gentle Cleanser. You can try that, for cradle cap- did you get one of those soft plastic brushes when at hospital?

Our Walmart sells a cradle cap shampoo...but baby oil works too and just fine tooth comb gently to loosen the flakes. Then I wash it with baby shampoo to get the greasiness off. I used Breastmilk for the acne.

I was told nothing but time for the acne as it can make worse. For the cradle cap, I used olive oil and a soft infant brush- worked wonders! And that episode of Seinfeld was on last week and my dh had never seen it;)
